Live independently with neighbours close by when you need them.
Moving into retirement living can be daunting, giving up your freedom and space. The designers of this small bespoke development of just 11 different properties had this in mind. This is a small complex where you have a modern well equipped private home, and can live independently, lock up and leave if you will. Yet if you do require company now or maybe further down the line you have neighbours on hand to call upon and build relationships with when you may desire too.
The properties all have individual designs and features making them unique and varying. The developers research bought about placing Herschel Infra red heating into the properties due to the health benefits over conventional heating that can affect respiratory disorders. Granite kitchens, easy reach sockets, low maintenance private gardens are more of the well thought out features of these homes with active retirees in mind.
The End Terraced Bungalow is in the far southern corner with an entrance/exit gate just next to it allowing you to come and go with ease. The property looks out onto the open quad and faces the ornate original building which is architecturally pleasing to the eye.
The entrance leads into a spacious open plan kitchen, dining and living area which is full of light from three aspects. The room is sectioned up by furniture and flooring styles. The well appointed kitchen with granite work surfaces and a full range of integral appliances makes the enjoyment of cooking easy, the dining area next to it with easy to maintain luxury vinyl flooring. Beyond here is the living area with sumptuous carpets skylights and southerly facing French doors and window. Here you have plenty of room for sofas and chairs to relax in. The heating is quite something and the open space is easy to warm at lower thermostat settings than imagined compared to conventional heating.
The two bedrooms are double sized, one overlooks the front and is used presently as a dressing room/study. The main bedroom has French doors leading onto the rear garden. Between the two bedrooms is the Shower room with under floor heating and a well appointed modern white suite.
The southerly facing rear garden is fully enclosed, ideal if you have a small pet. Its laid to composite decking to bask in the summer sun all day long, with a lower area of Cerny stone which make sit low maintenance and you can simply add your own planters to taste.
Each property has an allocated/numbered parking space just to the side of the development in the car park with additional spaces for visitors.
This small complex has a range of communal facilities you can enjoy. The main hall with the post boxes and cloakroom. The Library room is a large room with chairs and book shelves where you can sit and enjoy. This area could also double up where you could hold a small gathering such as a birthday party if required.
The Quad garden is enclosed by the properties central, laid to Cerny stone with a Magnolia tree in the centre and a patio area up near the main building where you can sit and enjoy.
The Spa is there for your usage and is equipped with some exercise machines and two pools, a jacuzzi and deep pool. To the side is a shower room and treatment room. Finally there is a guest suite for family/visitors that you can offer them for visits in keeping with the well thought out set up here.
